DepScope

Package Intelligence for AI Agents. Stops AI coding agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Cline) from installing hallucinated, deprecated, or malicious packages across 19 ecosystems.

Live at depscope.dev · 8.4M+ packages · 42K+ vulnerabilities (99% EPSS-enriched) · zero auth · free


Quick start (MCP)

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf — remote

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depscope": {
      "url": "https://mcp.depscope.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code / local — stdio

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depscope": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "depscope-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The MCP server source is at cuttalo/depscope-mcp (AGPL-3.0).

Why

LLMs frequently invent package names that look real but don't exist (fastapi-turbo, lodahs, tokio-stream-extras). When an agent tries to install one, it can hit an attacker's typosquat. DepScope verifies every package before install.
